Chapter 260 Qin Lang arrogantly set up a banquet, and Ma Tan pretended to plan a night attack

In the above book, it is mentioned that Liu Bei sent the generals Guan Yu and Zuo Guangluxun Zhuge Liang to lead troops to fight against Cao Cao. Actually, it's worth studying.

As Chen Gong said at the beginning, it was up to him to appease Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Pang Tong. 、

Why is that?

As we said in the previous document, this expedition is not simply to crusade against Cao Cao. Now this Cao Cao is not so easy to defeat!

What's more, just send 150,000 troops! Cao Cao's garrison in Luoyang has exceeded 300,000!

This dispatch of troops is just a manifestation of Liu Bei's determination to the world!

Therefore, he will not send Zhang Fei and Wen Chou, who are desperately like Saburo, nor will he let the adventurous Pang Tong come. As for Yan Liang, he directly lay down with Zhang Fei and Wen Chou!

And now Liu Bei can be described as a strong soldier and a thousand generals.

Who are the 30 good generals sent this time?

These are all well-known marching generals and battle talents. The first former general Huang Zhong, the second general Zang Ba of the expedition to the west, then the Anxi general Sun Guan, the Pingbei general Sun Kang, the cavalry general Cao Xing, the Fencai general Hou Cheng, the Yangwei general Xijie, and the Zhenwei general Zong Bao.

Miscellaneous generals Guan Ping (Guan Yu's eldest son), Xian Rong (the nephew of the judge), Fu Hu (the eldest son of Fu Zhu), Zhu Han, Meng Dai, Feng Li, Chang Lin, Zang Ai (Zang Ba's son), Ma Wuchang (eldest brother Ma Xuan, second brother Ma Kang, third brother Ma Jin, younger brother Ma Yan), Zang Shun (Zang Ba's eldest son), Zang Yu (Zang Ba's third son), Huang Xu (Huang Zhong's son), Sun Yu (Sun Guan's son), Sun Tian (Sun Kang's son), Cao Cheng (Cao Xing's son), Hou Yuan (Hou Cheng's son), Hope (Xijie's son), Zong Cheng (Zongbao's son).

Among the 21 generals in the army, a total of 11 are of the new generation.

In addition, the strategists who accompanied the army also included Ma Liang, Ma Jichang, the fourth brother of one of the five constants of the Ma family, the doctor Fu Zhu, and the chief bookkeeper Chen Deng.

This time, all five of the five permanent brothers of the Ma family went into battle, which can be said to make the generals who did not grab it jealous, envious and hateful!

The Ma family was also a very famous family at that time.

The eldest brother Ma Xuan, the word Bochang; The second brother Ma Kang, the word Zhongchang; The third brother Ma Jin, the word uncle Chang; The fourth brother Ma Liang, the word Ji Chang; The younger brother Ma Tan, the word is young. Among the five brothers, except for Ma Liang, the other four were proficient in martial arts one by one, and they immediately worked hard. Especially that Ma Tan, not only is he strong in martial arts, but also familiar with military books and war strategies, and often goes in and out of Zhuge Mansion and Pang Mansion to discuss military affairs with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and is deeply appreciated by the two.

And the fourth brother Ma Liang, young and white-eyed, is the best of the brothers' Chinese, so people often say: Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best!

Before the march, the generals designated by the Son of Heaven to go out have asked the main general Guan Yu and the military advisor Zhuge Liang to fight, wanting to be the forward.

It's just that among the generals, only among the five constants of the Ma family, the literary and military talents are mutually beneficial.

Zhuge Liang recommended to Guan Yu: "The Ma brothers are all literate, especially Ma Liang and Ma Yan. Gong can send his brother to go! ”

On weekdays, Guan Yu is friendly with Ma Xuan and Ma Liang, and he knows the abilities of these two, so he said: "Okay! A certain envoy Bo Chang was the vanguard, and his four brothers led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Luoyang! ”

After receiving the order of General Guan Yu, the Ma Xuan brothers led their troops to set off and went straight to Luoyang.

When the soldiers came out of the tiger prison, Ma Tan pointed to Luoyang, which was visible in the distance, and said to the four brothers: "If you go to Luoyang and Pingchuan, the enemy army will definitely be prepared." Brothers, we must not march recklessly! ”

"Before sending troops, Lord Kong Ming instructed that once you get close to Luoyang, be careful!" Ma Xuan nodded towards Ma Yan, and said, "Young Chang, tell the soldiers to slow down their march and wait for the news of the horse in front!" ”

"Whoa!" Ma Tan agreed, and then ordered.

After a while, the horse in front of him came galloping.

"Is there an enemy ahead?" Ma Xuan asked.

"Returning to the general, the enemy outpost has been found ten miles ahead!"

"Even! How many people are there? Which leader? Ma Xuan asked.

Tanma took a breath and said, "There are about three or four thousand people, and the general who leads the army is a man named Qin Lang!" ”

Qin Lang?!

"Fourth brother, do you know this person?" Ma Xuan turned around and asked Ma Liang.

Ma Liang nodded and said; "Qin Lang, a native of Chiyang, Yongzhou, now Cao Cao worships him as the general of Xiaocai. It is said that this person has a big axe in his hand, brave and invincible, and very invincible! ”

"I've heard of this guy too. This person is so happy and brave and unscrupulous. But I don't know why Cao Cao sent this person to be stationed here?! Ma Kang said on the side.

Hearing what they said, Ma Jian interjected: "Brothers, we are getting closer and closer to the enemy, but the terrain is not familiar, and the enemy generals are brave and brave. Don't go ahead rashly! ”

"What do you do?" Ma Xuan asked.

Ma Jian said: "Please keep my brother here for the time being, and wait for my brother to survey the terrain." ”

"Good! Zhong Chang, Shu Chang, and you are here to unite the army. Ji Chang also went with me and Youchang. With that, Ma Xuan took Ma Liang to follow Ma Jian to survey the terrain.

In front of it is a ridge, and after passing, there is an endless Pingchuan until the outside of Luoyang City.

It's really a horse Pingchuan, no wonder after losing the Tiger Prison at the beginning, Dong Zhuo, the old boy, immediately gave up Luoyang and went to Xi'an!

In the wilderness in the middle of Luoyang, a joint venture banner was unfurled, which seemed so dazzling.

"Why didn't he have his troops here? In that case, we'll lose half of our soldiers and horses, to say the least! Although the young Ma Jian is a little impetuous, his eye for seeing things seems to have a certain foundation, "Big brother, fourth brother, we will set up the barracks here." ”

"But this is just a hurdle, is the barracks in front or behind?" Ma Xuan asked.

Ma Liang replied: "Set it up at the back, and erect an arrow tower on this hill." ”

"Yes, what the fourth brother said is very true! If the enemy army comes to attack, our army will shoot it condescendingly by virtue of the terrain, and it will definitely have a miraculous effect! If our army launches an attack from this place, the momentum from top to bottom will inevitably inflict great impact damage on the enemy. Ma Jian said.

Ma Xuan thought for a while and agreed to this plan.

Let's say that Qin Lang learned that Liu Bei's army and horses had arrived, so he ordered his soldiers and horses to come to the outside of the camp to beg the enemy and scold the enemy.

Seeing the enemy fighting, Ma Xuan wanted to fight.

Ma Jian stepped forward to stop him and said, "This fang is extremely powerful and very brave. Brother and his hard regret are not a good strategy! ”

"What do you do?" Ma Xuan asked.

Ma Jian said: "Brother, you only need to lose this battle!" Not only will you be defeated, but after you are defeated, the second and third brothers will also be defeated when they go into battle together. ”

What the?!

Ma Xuan, Ma Kang and Ma Jin looked at Ma Jian puzzled.

Only Ma Liang was on the side and said: "You Chang has his own strategy to break the enemy in his heart, and the third brother will do what he says!" ”

Seeing Ma Liang say this, the three of them had no choice but not to ask, tidied up the armor on their bodies, each carried a knife and a gun, lit up thousands of soldiers and horses, and came to the front of the battle to meet Qin Lang.

Qin Lang held the big axe horizontally, rode on the horse, and looked coldly at the three Ma brothers who rushed down the slope.

"Bah! You are so bold that you dare to drive troops to invade our border! When Ma Xuan set up the formation, he raised his axe and shouted, "I don't know if you are alive or dead, don't come to die quickly!" ”

"Arrogant, I'll meet you for a while!" Ma Xuan waved his spear and rode his horse, came to the front of the two armies, and stabbed his clone.

The corners of Qin Lang's mouth turned up slightly, a trace of contempt appeared on his face, and the big axe suddenly swung out, blocking Ma Xuan's spear with a "boom".

The second horse staggered, he reversed the big axe, and swept towards Ma Xuan.

Damn!

What a quick trick!

Ma Xuan hurriedly made a diamond iron plate bridge and lay on the horse's back, which was able to dodge the axe.

The two widened the distance, Ma Xuan slowly sat up, and felt a chill on his back, and he was soaked in cold sweat......

This kid is really powerful, let alone a fake defeat!

This time it is definitely impossible to defeat others, whether it will be able to escape back for a while, not necessarily?

He began to beat the drum in his heart, and the two people who were watching the battle behind him, Ma Kang and Ma Jin, also saw it.

As soon as the two discussed, they stepped forward, grabbed Qin Lang's big axe, and replaced the eldest brother Ma Xuan.

It was the two of them, and Qin Lang still didn't have much pressure.

After more than 30 rounds, Ma Kang and Ma Jin pretended to be invincible and retreated.

Qin Lang waved his army to chase after him, but was pressed down by Ma Yan's bow and arrow for a while.

Qin Lang, who had achieved victory, returned to the camp happily.

The adjutant general who stayed in the camp ran over and dragged his horse for him, and asked, "The general has won a great victory, can you celebrate tonight!" ”

"That's nature! They were defeated, and if it weren't for the archers, I would have struck them all today! Qin Lang laughed arrogantly, and after a moment, he ordered: "You quickly arrange it, reward the three armies, and don't get drunk tonight!" ”

"No!"

……

It was night, the lights in the Cao army camp were brilliant, and the soldiers in the camp were staggered.

The sentries guarding the gate also received a pound of beef and half a pound of old wine, and they all ate with their mouths full of oil, and their mouths kept squirting with wine.

At this moment, no more than a mile away from them, thousands of people quietly and neatly looked at the brightly lit place.

These people are none other than the Ma Xuan brothers who had just been defeated during the day.

"Youchang, is it okay?" It was the pioneer officer Ma Xuan who spoke.

Seeing the eldest brother's question, Ma Jian said, "It's almost! I'll take five hundred soldiers up first! ”

"Wait!" Ma Kang stopped him and said, "You still stay and preside over the overall situation with the eldest brother." I'll leave the first battle to me! With that, he walked out with a broadsword.

Seeing that Ma Kang was determined to go, Ma Jian had no choice but to advise: "Second brother, be careful!" Take the gate and remember to shake the torch for the number! ”

"Understood!"

Ma Kang and the others soon touched the gate and saw that the four guards had staggered.

He decisively ordered, and four soldiers jumped up, raised their swords in their hands, and killed four of them under the swords.

When he looked at the gate, he saw that there was no one, so he took off the torch from the rack and shook it a few times.

……

Qin Lang carelessly handed over the fate of himself and his more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to a meal of wine and meat.

The five constants of the Ma clan swung up unscathed, and easily captured them all.

It wasn't until he woke up the next day that Qin Langfang knew how much mistake he had made.
